I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Toronto Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,600. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my professor has written in support of my application for a payment plan. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility. I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Toronto Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,600 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,100 • Exam and lab fees: $270 • Textbooks and materials: $230 If you're reading this, thank you.

    Best of luck, Jasmine. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
